Overview

• All eight episodes are now streaming worldwide on Netflix on October 3, with a simultaneous global drop at 12:00 a.m. PT (3:00 a.m. ET) and region-specific release times detailed in pre-launch guides.
• This third installment of Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s Monster anthology focuses on Edward “Ed” Gein of Plainfield, Wisconsin.
• Charlie Hunnam leads the cast as Gein, with Laurie Metcalf as Augusta Gein and Tom Hollander portraying Alfred Hitchcock, alongside Suzanna Son and others.
• The coverage anchors the drama in the historical record: a 1957 farm search uncovered human remains and objects made from them; Gein admitted two murders and grave-robbing, was diagnosed with schizophrenia, stood trial in 1968, and remained institutionalized until his 1984 death.
• The season includes the unresolved Evelyn Hartley case through a character played by Addison Rae, with reporting noting Gein passed two polygraph tests and was officially cleared in her disappearance.
